Dr. Danielle Rumsey is a board-certified psychiatrist at Sollus Health who treats adults living with depression, anxiety, trauma-related conditions and psychiatric symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and quality of life. She has a particular interest in treatment-resistant depression, and in helping patients who have experienced limited benefit — or significant side effects — from psychiatric medications.

She attended A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and completed her psychiatry residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego. She served in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps from 2014 to 2026, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Commander. After residency she was a staff psychiatrist at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, serving as Wounded Warrior Battalion West Mental Health Division Officer, sitting on the hospital’s Medical Executive Committee, and acting as Addiction Medicine Champion for the hospital and its outlying clinics. She transitioned to the Navy Reserve in 2026 and continues to serve as a staff psychiatrist for Navy Reserve Center San Diego.

Since leaving active-duty practice, her civilian work has included interventional psychiatry, general outpatient psychiatry and psychiatric evaluations for veterans.

Dr. Rumsey was drawn to psychiatry by the complex and delicate balance between mind, body and spirit that forms the foundation of mental health. She came to interventional psychiatry, and to TMS in particular, after seeing patients who continued to struggle with significant symptoms despite multiple trials of medication and psychotherapy. TMS gives psychiatry an additional evidence-based option — one that can deliver more effective and longer-lasting improvement for treatment-resistant depression than conventional antidepressants, while remaining noninvasive, generally well tolerated and free of many of the systemic side effects that come with psychiatric medications. Within TMS she is especially interested in its emerging use for cognitive impairment, chronic pain and co-occurring mood symptoms.

She works with adults across a wide range of backgrounds and stages of life, including young adults, military members, veterans, working professionals and older adults.

One of the most rewarding parts of her work is watching patients begin to feel like themselves again — regaining motivation, reconnecting with the people and activities they value, and finding a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Dr. Rumsey is a member of the American Psychiatric Association, the Clinical TMS Society, the Society of Uniformed Services Psychiatrists and the American Medical Women’s Association.

Outside of work she spends time with her husband and their two children, plays and watches sport — the Lakers and the Chargers in particular — and heads for the beach when she can. When the family can step away from the day-to-day, they travel and seek out new cultures.
